Had a '57 with 312 T-Bird V8 in it. Set it up like Robert Mitchum in Thunder Road.....3-dueces, headers, pipes, high bump ignition, Flamethrower headlights, the works. Loved that car.....went over 200,000 miles and was still OK when I sold it. Wish I had it back.....sigh.....
I really liked this show as a kid and I'm liking it now too. Thanks for posting. At first I had to chuckle because the two tone 41 Olds was just in an episode I watched right before this. The new owner died in a shootout with the cops so I guess it went back to the used car lot LOL.
This could have been a double episode. In part 2, they'd be in court. Helen would be fined and have received a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation and court-ordered counseling. The mother would be fined for obstruction and filing a false report, and then serve 6 months in jail after she spouted off at the judge.
I enjoyed it many, many years ago. I'm 69 now. Glad you enjoy the show. That fast-talking detective -- Broderick Crawford -- check out his best movie, "All the King's Men." 1949!
Watched a ton of these (then and now) First and only time used a blackboard. Loved his "Get the scrapers,the tweezers and the plaster kit" One of the few times we get to see one of the "lab boys" he's always barking for. Got to love it.
@@wilneal8015 Who needs a laboratory full of guys with million dollar specialized test equipment when all it takes is an old guy sitting at a desk with a microscope.. and who even needs that guy when Dan can tell you twice as much from a pinch of dirt he picked up off the ground.
The reason new cars collapse the way they do is to absorb the impact. Without that, anyone in the car continues to travel at the same speed until they hit something, increasing the chances of serious injury.
@@RadioMattM Please do not confuse people with the truth of the Physics.of collisions. The public does not need to know about conservation of momentum or conservation of energy. Our schools would have indoctrinated them if we believed that they needed this knowledge. If we believed that they needed to learn science and math then we would have made sure that they were taught science and math. Don't you trust us to act in their best interests? The vast majority of the public needs to remain ignorant so that we can continue to sell them the lies that we must tell them for their own protection, of course.. Also the Entertainment Industry is extremely reliant upon the public's ignorance. It is very difficult to have the production of exciting films when the audience must suspend their disbelief in order to be entertained.

This serie should be rename: How to make u-turns. But we have to admit, Dan Matthews is a hell of a driver. Buick, Mercury, Dodge....cars got no secrets for him.
Drive it like you stole it...or some dealership loaned it to the show.I loved cars rolling backwards or drivers revving the engine wide open letting the clutch out in a strange car.
From 1:16-1:18 you see Mc Connel Ave, which in is in Culver City/Mar Vista, Calif. I can see Jefferson Blvd. in the background, north of the LAX airport. My dad worked at Hughes Aircraft on Jefferson Blvd, about the time this was filmed in 1956.
Carlos Carpinteyro yes, I went to St. Bernard high, nearby. Playa del Rey. Class of 68. My mom taught at westchester high. My sisters husband worked at Hughes. Engr.
She would have hit the steering wheel with her chest. Left front fender damage and the car was able to drive away, not a bad wreck, but the guy would have taken a hit!
When I was kid I saw an old car with head light damage, there was blood on the dash and the steering wheel was bent, the mechanic said that 2 people died. That's why we have crumple zones now, so cars are written off now not people.
Another great episode. Helen was a real looker - beautiful. Ol' Pops looks familiar from maybe another movie or show. Looks like they had an audience for the bridge scene. Love these old shows. Those days seem like a world ago.
Mom probably thought Helen married beneath her...I mean, hubby can only provide a pre-war Oldsmobile and her parents have a new/one year old Ford wagon.
Usually Highway Patrol is a bit better with continuity than that. Mathews is also seen driving a '55 Buick as well in some scenes that magically turn into the Merc.
It is less expensive to use stock shots. I imagine for the specific shots they used whatever cars were available and the stock shots were the same way but with different cars.
@@gus2600 Mind's was just the opposite, I needed to make sure that my wife didn't go through it with my mother, & I'm still not sure which one would have been the worst!! However, I did have serious father n law issues🤔! Guess I should've been a better man towards his daughter🤔! O'le well, "God bless his soul"!
You think they understand it today ? They still use the same ´cure´ for it: "Fill ´em up with pills and git rid of ´em !" And the headshrinker thinks: "Oh, I can´t stand these whiners but I must have patience after all I´m in this for the money !"
Opening credits: In 1994: Bernard R. Caldwell, a former Los Angeles police traffic director credited with modernizing the California Highway Patrol during his six years as its chief, has died. He was 93.
Good call. Interesting episode where roadblocks weren't needed. No cops and robbers stuff. Study of a family dealing with anxiety, fear and guilt. Dan asked all the right questions to find the answers to the hit and run. Well written, acted and directed.
Hollywood TV police logic can be rather hilarious. The woman's shoe print cast could have been made by a woman standing near that pole a half hour earlier, yet police use it as if there's no way it could have been from anyone other than the hit-and-run suspect... lol
Its amazing, the backgrounds are just fields for the most part. All the areas this was shot in are now fully built up. None of this would have happened if they dropped a later Olds or Caddy engine and painted the olds a nice candy with scallops.
Cant pull the wool over old Dans eyes.......hes the most intelligent cop in the entire world....."Where does he live...!!!!" Man what a great show. Alot of the character actors on Highway Patrol were also on Andy Griffith.....I mean a shitload of them!
Her mom way to protective,mom's often fend for their son's. No girl good enough, now us Dad's, our little daughter's that's our department God bless you all. Just came across this yesterday. I was born in the /60's,do not remember this one.
Hey! That's the same car that that the husband and wife robbers had who tried to get away at the airport. They bought it at a used car lot and it broke down on the robber husband as he was trying to get to his wife at the airport."You find something?" "Yeah. it looks like dirt." No Duh! Ya'll are standing on dirt.I see a lot of rows of lettuce on the farm but no chickens.Matthews didn't finish the Bible verse, "the Lord giveth and The Lord taketh away. Blessed be The Name of The Lord."- Job 1:21
The car the woman crashed was the same car used in episode 127 the trailer episode when the killer who bought it killed the Jewelry Store owner before hijacking the trailer.
Good show but the problem is that we don't know what charges may have been filed and against whom and what were the results. I think ZIF productions should run a sequel or clarify it at some point.
Although they looked nothing alike, Broderick Crawford's 'no nonsense approach' reminds me of Nigel Patrick's style (especially investigative). What would have worked is for NP to guest on this & what BC missed (unlikely, but possible) NP would spot; then, BC could guest on a similar series set in London & BC could fill in any missing details. Great actors from an identical period. HP was a fine series, & BC made it all the better. Many thanks for the upload 👍 😀.
First, try salvaging a modern car after hitting a pole. It's not happening and autos then were tanks. Second, the tech for investigating hit and runs was still relatively new but would get better with time. Third, mom is nuts.
I fail to see the crime in being too scared to remain at the scene. As long as you report it, I see nothing so morally reprehensible that it has to be a felony.
This show is so amusing. In one scene she is about to hit the pole dead center. Next scene she smashes the pole with the left front corner of the car. You gotta love how many mistakes there were in this series. And they didnt care. Or maybe maybe they cared, but didnt want to spend the money to get it right.
@@normhardy Norm; Yes we understand that Highway Patrol had a budget, and it was probably even tighter than today’s shows. And tv, and audiences, were less sophisticated 60 years ago. But half the fun of the show is poking holes in the continuity. Notice half of the remarks on the entire series are making fun of it. Its basically poking fun and being nostalgic for those simpler times, and people love doing that. Frederick Ziv is dead. Broderick Crawford is dead. They are likely all dead. They won’t care. It’s criticism from a good place.
99.9% of the audience didn't notice the mistakes. Or had a chance to ever rewind the scene and repeat it over and over again. It all happened in a fraction of a second, and the vast majority of the audience didn't notice anything going wrong. And the rest didn't care.....
I love all these old cars !
Dan Mathews is so good that he could have single-handedly commanded both the European and Pacific theaters during WW II. The orders and tactics come out of his mouth so quickly and flawlessly that the enemy wouldn't have stood a chance.

Given that there was no slow motion or CGI, the hit of the pedestrian looked pretty realistic. I liked the way they sped up the film.
What's CGI?
She didn't hit the man, poorly filmed,, and car came to stop, before hitting pole, then hit gas and hit pole, bad film editing,,😮😮
@@Manuel-so7mz that's where I grocery shop 😂

She's an alpha female. I'm sure you've run into more than one of those.

The mother-in-law we all loathe.
I wasted 12 years on a mama's girl.They never grow up.Everybody needs a second chance but when she runs home to mama after that leave her there.
They lived on a chicken farm, but It seems the mother, Irene, "ruled the roost" in this episode!
She said that SHE owned the farm.
I guess you can say in this case the chickens came home to roost
Good episode. Whatever emotional problems the family had can be blamed on Irene. Goodnight, Irene, Goodnight.
"Axed your mother for you, she said you was too young...."
Wish I had easy going parents like her mother. I'd go to jail for my daughter.
Over 18, Irene....
That farm is now an Amazon warehouse in Riverside
Yuck!.
They bought extra fenders in case next weeks episode requires that car.
There is always a '56 Chevy in these shows like the one I owned once. I wish I still had it, but I guess we all wish we had our old 1950s cars.
YOU BET, I LOVED MY 1955 Ford 2 door, great car !
knethen222 Me too !
I left my 55 chev pickup by the side of the road in Ga. When the motor blew up.

I Really Enjoyed This Episode 😄 Thank You Foxeema For Sharing 😄
I really liked this show as a kid and I'm liking it now too. Thanks for posting.
At first I had to chuckle because the two tone 41 Olds was just in an episode I watched right before this. The new owner died in a shootout with the cops so I guess it went back to the used car lot LOL.
When I saw an old car, knew it was going to get damaged.
I think the culvert bridge Helen tries to jump off is in Van Nuys. Dan: "Helen, remember, God giveith, and God takeith away!"
This could have been a double episode. In part 2, they'd be in court. Helen would be fined and have received a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation and court-ordered counseling.
The mother would be fined for obstruction and filing a false report, and then serve 6 months in jail after she spouted off at the judge.
This car of hers was used in a lot of episodes prior to this one. Recycling before it's time...lol

Look out for cars
Love those old cars my father use to repair. Pretty women also! The cars may have changed but the bait and hook remain the same!
I love those beautiful 1959 Plymouth station wagon. They are some car.
Gotta love old school lead sled cars. A modern car would likely have been undriveable after a telephone pole hit like that.

The 1941 Oldsmobile hits a telephone pole then drives away. take that you new plastic cars.
And a few MPH more, that steering column would have gone right through her heart.
Another great episode. Helen was a real looker - beautiful. Ol' Pops looks familiar from maybe another movie or show. Looks like they had an audience for the bridge scene. Love these old shows. Those days seem like a world ago.
I wish I could talk as fast as Broderick Crawford!
I tried but just get tongue tied.
Mom probably thought Helen married beneath her...I mean, hubby can only provide a pre-war Oldsmobile and her parents have a new/one year old Ford wagon.
And a low budget TV show wouldn't wreck a new car. A $50 '42 Oldsmobile will do just fine.
If it WERE wrecked....she couldn't drive off, thus making it a hit and run.
The mother said it was her car. Got it 9 years ago.
Remember wages were about 50 to 60 dollars aweek in the mid 50's
At 26:08, Dan is driving to her parent's house in a 1954 Oldsmobile. When he leaves the same house, he gets into a 1955 Mercury..!
Usually Highway Patrol is a bit better with continuity than that. Mathews is also seen driving a '55 Buick as well in some scenes that magically turn into the Merc.

Dan's a quick-change artist. Does this in lots of episodes. Real pro.
He stopped off for donuts and accidentally switched cars with the other cop who stopped for donuts?
Man, the finder on that Plymouth coup sure was jacked.
Oldsmobile, but who is counting.
He's Mr. Meegles, from the movie, Harvey. He was one the drunks at the bar!
@ 1:25, that's the same old 1946 Oldsmobile used in another episode.
The "Trailer Story" I think . The couple bought a cheapo car. Sounded like it lost it's drive shaft. Just saw it today. Again...
Lee Coffman Just watched Trailer story and that was in it.

That was a one year only styled 1941 Oldsmobile.

If you look at the headlights that are really close together, you will see it is a 1941 Oldsmobile.
I liked the ending. Threatening to jump 8 feet to the concrete below. They saved her a sprained ankle.
You can die from a 2 foot fall or a small step ladder. And I gauged the depth, more like 20 foot.

Helen's 1941 Oldsmobile has an uncommon factory 2-tone paint job. Too bad she trashed it by hitting the pole. And the man, too.
Dan the Man: not only head of the HP but now he's a lab tech to boot!
"Be careful, she's emotionally upset!"
...should have let her jump. She seems pretty useless.

I fail to see the crime in being too scared to remain at the scene. As long as you report it, I see nothing so morally reprehensible that it has to be a felony.
This show is so amusing. In one scene she is about to hit the pole dead center. Next scene she smashes the pole with the left front corner of the car. You gotta love how many mistakes there were in this series. And they didnt care. Or maybe maybe they cared, but didnt want to spend the money to get it right.
They had a budget to work with. Look at the positives, life is too short to be so critical.
@@normhardy Norm; Yes we understand that Highway Patrol had a budget, and it was probably even tighter than today’s shows. And tv, and audiences, were less sophisticated 60 years ago. But half the fun of the show is poking holes in the continuity. Notice half of the remarks on the entire series are making fun of it. Its basically poking fun and being nostalgic for those simpler times, and people love doing that. Frederick Ziv is dead. Broderick Crawford is dead. They are likely all dead. They won’t care. It’s criticism from a good place.
99.9% of the audience didn't notice the mistakes. Or had a chance to ever rewind the scene and repeat it over and over again. It all happened in a fraction of a second, and the vast majority of the audience didn't notice anything going wrong. And the rest didn't care.....
This is getting good
